Liquid cooling of photovoltaic panels is a very efficient method and achieves satisfactory results. Regardless of the cooling system size or the water temperature, this method of cooling always improves the electrical efficiency of PV modules. The operating principle of this cooling type is based on water use.
This is the simplest way of cooling PV modules, so it is very popular. This method increases the energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the system with a limited investment. Passive cooling with air is the cheapest and simplest method of removing excess heat from PV panels. In such a solution, the PV modules are cooled by natural airflow.
It is true that the payback period has increased when constructing a cooling technique for the PV panel; however, the benefits of the cooling technique on the PV are far more beneficial. The PV panel lifespan increases whenever a cooling system is used because a cooling system decreases its temperature with time.
Proper cooling can improve the electrical efficiency, and decrease the rate of cell degradation with time, resulting in maximisation of the life span of photovoltaic modules. The excessive heat removed by the cooling system can be used in domestic, commercial or industrial applications.
Ahmed et al. , developed a photovoltaic cooling system by installing a rectangular channel at the back of the PV panel through which the cooling water flows using transparent pyrex sheets. The average temperature reduction for the front surface and back surface was found to be 14.5 °C and 9.7 °C, respectively.
1. PV panels cooling systems Cooling of PV panels is used to reduce the negative impact of the decrease in power output of PV panels as their operating temperature increases. Developing a suitable cooling system compensates for the decrease in power output and increases operational reliability.
